I'm an SMU alum (where Jonathan was attending) and we were friends on Facebook. Just last week he posted a photo on Facebook of the stall of his horse, Richter, newly adorned with the London 2012 plaque. I couldn't help but smile and feel proud for him.

I was so sad to read the post this morning by his parents announcing the loss of their son. Amazing how much can change in the blink of an eye.

Jonathan accomplished an amazing amount during a life that was far too short. I hope his family can find some small comfort in that, and that he got to live his dream of competing -- and representing his country admirably -- at the London Paralympics.
Rest in peace.

This exactly^^. Huge condolences to Jonathan's family and friends.

We don't get less brave; we get a bigger sense of self-preservation........
